Freaky or Fabulous
Freaky or Fabulous: Topshop's Rubber Cycling Shorts
Topshop Unique's Spring collection is now in stores and online. The '90s inspired collection includes surfer style pieces and grungey tops. Whilst browsing through the new line, I spotted these rubber cycling shorts (£110).
Freaky or Fabulous: Henry Holland for Levi's
Henry Holland's Spring '10 collection for Levi's has just been revealed and it is certainly a fresh approach to denim. British designer Henry has given denim a unique touch with golden buckles and dark denim straps. I think the jeans have a bit of a Michael Jackson feel to them.
Freaky or Fabulous: Tattered Socks
In 2009, some very expensive ripped jeans went on sale as grungey styling made a comeback. We haven't shaken off the style just yet as worn accessories (particularly footwear) are still incredibly popular.
I have just spotted these tattered socks (£11.29) over at Free People which got me wondering if the trend has gone too far.
Freaky or Fabulous: Lanvin Spring '10 Campaign
Lanvin are being experimental with their Spring ad campaigns. Just last week I revealed an image showing models running down the hall and now this one has been unveiled too.
Alber Elbaz explained, "I thought maybe we need a bit of action," and he's certainly provided that!
Freaky or Fabulous: Inflatable Bra
When compiling a Jordan Halloween costume last year, I included a set of joke shop inflatable boobs and thats all that I thought they were – a joke! Well, Debenhams have taken on the idea in their latest lingerie collection by offering women an instant boob job without surgery. The small chicken fillet sized pads (£5 for a pair) can easily be inflated and can add one cup size and can be inserted in to your bra.
Freaky or Fabulous: Vivienne Westwood Booties
It's been raining a lot in the UK lately. I'm a little confused as to where all the water is coming from, but it's fair to say that it's not safe to leave the house without an umbrella. A friend of mine has taken this to new levels by wearing wellies as well!
Freaky or Fabulous: Camilla Skovgaard Heels
Footwear designer Camilla Skovgaard is one to watch. Net-a-porter included a pair of her killer heels in their Autumn must haves and I fell in love with her footwear in May. These tassled heels are a key piece from the Spring 2010 collection and certainly play in to the new season trend for slip on mules (also seen at Chanel).
Freaky or Fabulous: English Food Umbrellas
Showing off your patriotism with a union jack item is one thing, but wearing your pride with a traditional English photo umbrella is quite another! London Undercover have created these two funky accessories for the colder months where you can choose from either fish'n'chips in newspaper (£50) or an English breakfast on a gingham tablecloth (£50). What do you think of these food orientated accessories?
Freaky or Fabulous: Jordan Dunn at Jean Paul Gaultier
Jourdan Dunn made a surprise announcement earlier this year when she revealed she was pregnant. The London based model who won Model of the Year in 2008 was therefore expected to sit out this season and was instead spotted in many front rows. However, always one to challenge convention, Jean Paul Gaultier surprised Paris over the weekend as a heavily pregnant Jourdan took to the catwalk in an iconic design.
Freaky or Fabulous: String Lace Tights
It's all about legs this Autumn as tights become an integral part of your wardrobe. As well as bright colours and funky patterns, there are interesting details like the laced together style of this pair at Topshop (£12). Do you think they're freaky, or fabulous?
